Pedestrian Collision Legal Representation
Foot traffic incidents produce catastrophic harm when unprotected individuals absorb full impact forces from multi-ton vehicles traveling at dangerous speeds. These crashes frequently result from driver inattention, failure to yield at crosswalks, or aggressive operation through areas with substantial walker presence. Victims confront mounting medical expenses, permanent disabilities, and lost income while insurance companies employ tactics to minimize legitimate compensation claims.
Crosswalk Collision Claims
Intersection crashes occur when motorists fail to yield to individuals lawfully using marked crosswalks, violating traffic control devices, and pedestrian right-of-way statutes. These incidents produce severe injuries when vehicles strike walkers who possess legal priority under traffic laws. Our attorneys establish liability through witness testimony, traffic signal timing analysis, and surveillance footage demonstrating that drivers violated clear legal obligations to stop for crossing individuals.
Mid-Block Accident Cases
Roadway collisions outside designated crossing areas stem from inadequate pedestrian infrastructure, forcing walkers to cross dangerous roadways without protected pathways. These incidents frequently involve poorly lit areas, missing sidewalks, or excessively wide streets, creating extended exposure to traffic hazards. We pursue claims against both negligent drivers and governmental entities whose infrastructure failures create dangerous conditions for foot traffic.
Parking Lot Incident Litigation
Commercial property collisions occur when drivers navigate parking areas at unsafe speeds, fail to check for walkers, or reverse vehicles without adequate observation. These crashes produce serious injuries despite occurring at reduced velocities due to walker vulnerability and the unexpected nature of parking lot traffic patterns. Our firm establishes liability through property surveillance footage, witness statements, and evidence demonstrating driver negligence in areas where substantial foot traffic should be anticipated.
Walker Injury Legal Advocacy
Foot traffic accident cases require a thorough investigation to counter insurance company arguments attributing fault to the injured parties. These claims demand comprehensive evidence demonstrating that individuals exercised reasonable care while motorists violated traffic laws or failed to maintain a proper lookout. Victims who attempt to negotiate directly with adjusters routinely face blame-shifting tactics designed to minimize or eliminate recovery.
Hit-and-Run Crash Claims
Drivers who flee accident scenes leave injured walkers without immediate assistance while destroying evidence and complicating the identification of responsible parties. Georgia law imposes criminal penalties on fleeing drivers while permitting injured parties to pursue uninsured motorist claims when perpetrators remain unidentified. We work with law enforcement, canvas for witnesses, and review surveillance systems to identify fleeing drivers while simultaneously pursuing available insurance coverage.
Intersection Turning Movement Cases
Junction collisions occur when drivers execute right turns on red signals or left turns across crosswalks without verifying that crossing individuals have cleared the intersection areas. These accidents demonstrate how motorists prioritize convenience over safety, failing to complete simple visual checks before proceeding. Our attorneys document how proper intersection scanning would have prevented collisions, establishing driver negligence through traffic engineering principles and eyewitness accounts.
School Zone Accident Litigation
Collisions in designated school areas produce particularly severe liability when drivers violate reduced speed limits or fail to exercise heightened caution near educational facilities. These zones exist specifically to protect vulnerable populations, including children walking to school or crossing between facilities. We pursue enhanced damages when drivers exhibit willful disregard for school zone protections designed to prevent exactly the type of harm that occurred.
Failure to Yield Claims
Crosswalk right-of-way violations produce frequent collisions when motorists proceed through intersections without stopping for individuals lawfully using designated crossing areas. These accidents cause severe trauma when vehicles strike walkers who possess clear legal priority under traffic control devices or applicable statutes. We establish liability through traffic law analysis, signal timing evidence, and witness testimony demonstrating that drivers violated unambiguous yielding requirements.
Distracted Driving Collision Cases
Electronic device usage and other attention diversions cause motorists to overlook walkers in their travel paths, leading to devastating collisions in crosswalks, parking lots, and residential areas. These incidents occur when drivers fail to recognize stopped traffic, proceed through intersections without checking for crossing individuals, or drift into sidewalk areas. Our firm documents distraction through cellular records, witness observations, and accident scene analysis, proving that inattention caused preventable harm.
Impaired Driver Accident Litigation
Alcohol and drug-impaired motorists pose extreme dangers to walkers through slowed reaction times, impaired judgment, and reduced ability to maintain vehicle control. These cases may support punitive damage claims beyond standard compensatory awards when impaired drivers cause catastrophic harm through willful safety disregard. We pursue all available damages when intoxicated drivers cause serious injuries to individuals lawfully using roadways and sidewalks.
Vulnerable Road User Protection Laws
Georgia statute recognizes walkers as particularly susceptible to severe harm in traffic incidents, imposing heightened duties on motor vehicle operators. These provisions require drivers to yield at crosswalks, exercise enhanced caution in areas with substantial foot traffic, and maintain adequate observation for individuals near roadways. Violations of these protective statutes establish negligence per se, strengthening injury claims when accidents result from statutory violations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do pedestrians always have the right-of-way in Georgia?
Georgia law grants walkers right-of-way at marked crosswalks and intersections, though pedestrians bear responsibility to yield when crossing outside designated areas or against traffic signals. Insurance companies cannot automatically attribute fault to walkers lawfully using crossing infrastructure when drivers violate yielding requirements.
Can I recover compensation if I was jaywalking when struck?
Georgia’s comparative negligence statute permits recovery even when walkers share partial fault for crossing outside designated areas, reducing damages proportionally to their responsibility percentage. Many jaywalking incidents involve drivers who could have avoided collisions through reasonable care despite improper crossing locations.
What if the driver claims they didn’t see me crossing?
Failure to see walkers does not excuse driver negligence, as motorists bear legal responsibility to maintain a proper lookout for vulnerable road users before proceeding through intersections or other areas. We counter visibility claims through witness testimony, lighting analysis, and expert opinions, establishing that reasonable drivers exercising appropriate care would have detected walker presence.
How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim?
Georgia’s two-year statute of limitations requires filing personal injury lawsuits within 24 months of the accident date, though certain circumstances may extend or shorten this deadline. Prompt attorney consultation ensures compliance with all applicable deadlines while evidence remains fresh and witnesses remain available.
What compensation can pedestrian accident victims recover?
Walker injury claims may recover damages for emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgical procedures, rehabilitation, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent scarring or disabilities, and emotional distress. Cases involving permanent impairments or traumatic brain injuries justify substantially higher settlements reflecting long-term consequences.
Should I speak to the driver’s insurance company after the accident?
Providing recorded statements to adverse insurance carriers without legal counsel proves inadvisable, as adjusters use questioning techniques designed to elicit admissions supporting fault allegations against injured walkers. These statements become permanent evidence that cannot be retracted, making early attorney consultation essential to protecting your interests.
